A popular, good quality store that sells fashionable and generally affordable clothes to today's youth. Generally mis-labeled as a "prep store" despite the fact that an actual prep wouldn be caught dead wearing AE or anything like that. Cheaper than places like abercrombie and Hollister Co., with a more conservative and clean- cut style. Ignorant people who hate the so called popular kids in school (that generally wear these sort of clothes) like to bash this store, disgracing websites like urbandictionary.com. In addition AE has a GUYS SECTION, so just because a guy (like me) likes to wear clothes from this store DOES NOT make them gay or bisexual.

a clothing store for teenagers with a generally "preppy" style. it doesnt say anything about your personality if you shop there. and you should not be labeled a bitch just because you like an ae shirt. half the people leaving ae definitions have most likely never worn ae let alone gone into one of their stores. my god!

A store which sells nice clothes for those who like that vintage style. Easy to wear with many other brands, and although somewhat overpriced, thats the way business works. the Sale rack is usually great. Just because some people choose to wear what they like doesnt mean they're rich snobs, it can simply mean they like the shirt they're wearing. Maybe they're not rich and saved up to buy the shirt. Just because you dislike AE, doesnt mean that anyone who wears it is preppy or a bitch.

pretty stupid to judge someone by what they wear.

Girl1: hey lets go into ae see whats there
Girl2: ohh this sweater is nice! hey its not too expensive either

American Eagle Outfitters or AE sells highly trendy clothes targeted at the lucrative teenage population. American Eagle's clothing is usually (I'm saying usually because of course you have the girls who buy like a small when they are a large) less slutty than some of the items you would find at Abercrombie. AE is a great place to find stylish jeans and vintage tees. As an added bonus they always have a great sales rack!

Becka: OMG how much were those awesome jeans?
Alyssa: U won't believe it I got them for $15 on clearance at American Eagle!
Becka: OMG! What a totally great deal!

American Eagle is a store where clothing is sold. Shopping there doesn't make you a snob/prep/rich bitch etc... I make a killing @ the clearance rack cuz boyfriend/artist jeans for $30 makes my ass look phenomenal. NOT because I want to look like everyone else. And that's coming from an 18 year old black chick who's a working college student. kthxbye.

Damn, Kristi. Where did u get those jeans?
From American Eagle.
:disgusted face: Eww. You shop there?!
Bitch, don't front. You liked the jeans before you found out they were AE...
